We started the day with breakfast at a traditional restaurant specializing in hairtail fish. The place was fairly easy to find and has free parking nearby.

must be a good sign |
The restaurant is located at Level 2 and accessible by stairs or lift inside the building. The lobby is beautifully decorated and there is a souvenir shop there as well.

The TV screen at the lift showed that Sanghyuk 상해기 (Korean famous mukbanger) has been to Jeju Osung before.

Was greeted when we reached the restaurant at Level 2 and brought to the table. The place was not busy at about 10am.
Order via the tablet screen available at each table. Pay by card or cash upon ordering.
let's order breakfast |
We ordered the Braised Cutlass Fish for 2 pax, ala-carte order of grilled mackerel and sea urchin seaweed soup, additional 2 bowls of rice and a beer. Hehe, yes why not have tangerine beer at 10am.

this paste was interesting |
The japchae side dish was pretty good. But the most interesting one was the boiled cabbage served with a type of fermented bean paste sauce that tasted pretty peculiarly umami but fishy. Interesting and it grows on you the more you eat it.
tangerine IPA |
In Jeju, it is my daily mission to drink or eat something associated with hallabong or tangerines. Hehe. The tangerine IPA was refreshing although a bit odd to be drinking it so early...
ala-carte order of sea urchin seaweed soup @₩15000 |
Braised Cutlassfish in a Pot (for 2 pax) @₩69000 |
The 'Braised Cutlassfish in a Pot' consists of all the side dishes, a pot of braised cutlass fish and a long grilled version of it.
our meal |
Staff will assist in deboning the grilled cutlass fish so that it is easier to eat. This fish has many many bones.

nice |
One could taste the fish more in the grilled version but I love the braised version as the spicy sauce was very good to have with the rice. So tasty!
The extra order of mackerel was good too as it has a much firmer texture than the cutlass and has more oily mouthfeel.

The set also comes with seaweed soup and the difference between the regular ones versus the sea urchin one was that the added sea urchin gave the soup a certain creaminess. Other than that, the taste remained largely the same.
We were very full from all the food. Spent ₩108000 for breakfast.
